Living in language

"Metaphors .. both reveal and conceal but because we live in language it is sometimes difficult to reflect on our metaphors-in-use..."
(Ison, 2010, p. 172).

but also

"Within all dominant discourses there is always resistance"
(Ison, 2010, p. 174, referencing Foucault).

Language is a "social technology" (OU, 2010, p. 165).

".. systems practice creates the possibilities for the emergence of authenticity"
(Ison, 2010, p. 312).
